How shall I fail or fall?
That, with Thy wont­ed fa­vor, Thou
Neither sin, nor earth, nor hell
His own He safe­ly keeps.
My foot shall not be movèd,
In love and serv­ice, I would be
The stone is rolled away,
In full sur­rend­er Thine own to be.
Who can con­demn me? In Him I am free,
Jesus will rule and Je­sus will lead;
In Thee alone we place our hope,
Forgive the sec­ret sins I do not see;
Forgive the sec­ret sins I do not see;
Beside Him we will go.
To bless and praise your ris­en Lord!
Faint not as the sha­dows creep,
Of light in­vi­si­ble true light,
Jehovah is Him­self
Still rest we, Je­su, in Thy name,
And let Thy light shine thro’ me.

My rul­er rul­eth all.
From all ill dreams de­fend our sight,
Careless slum­bers can­not steal
Thy shel­ter and thy shade;
He nev­er shall for­sake me;
When pressed by weight of care or grief,
Satan and Pi­late’s watch­men,
I fear no ev­il what­e’er as­sails.
In the Be­loved I went to the tree,
He is my Bread of Life, on Him I feed.
And Thou, through fight and fire and fears
Dear Lord, Amen.
Dear Lord, Amen.
Watching ev­er near,
At that dread sight and sound;
He will slum­ber not, nor sleep.
Our great cre­at­or and our guide,
Jehovah thy de­fense
And wake­ful thus in spir­it claim
And ev­er on watch must be;
